Copying Tab references

[Swansea Jack]

Hi All

I have a workbook with many tabs in it. The front tab is a register of
events with each row as a unique event record.

Each event record also has it's own individual tab with more info stored in
it [the layout of each individual tab is the same as each other]

I need to link cells from the front register to the appropriate individual
tab for each event record and visa versa. No problem with this - one by one,
but I have many events and tabs to link together. Not only time consuming but
prone to errors.

Is there a way [there usually is] of copying a cell reference from an
individual tab across to the other cells on the register but getting the
reference to change to each new individual tabs
EG
My tab reference on front register cell K55 is ='F06'!$B$37
My tab refernece on front register cell K56 is ='F07'!$B$37
My tab refernece on front register cell K57 is ='F08'!$B$37


How can I change the tab reference quickly ????

Hope this makes sense

Have you thought about having a macro that would populate the register worksheet
with formulas -- either on demand (hitting a button on that worksheet) or
automatically when activating that sheet?

If that's ok, you may want to provide a few more details of what goes where--and
how you'd like the formulas populated.

For the example you posted.

In register sheet in K55 enter =INDIRECT("'FO" & (ROW(6:6)) & "'!B37")

Copy down to K57.............only the ROW(6:6) will increment.

Thanks ! this works fine ... now my next problem ...

How do I copy from the register on the front tab all entries say in cells A1
to A10, into cell A1 on tab F01, then from A2 into cell A1 on tab F02, from
cell A3 into A1 on tab F03, etc,etc .... ???

i.e. copying down the rows, into the same cell on each of the tabs ?

Assuming Register is first sheet in workbook and you have data in A1:A10

Also assumes you have 10 or fewer FOx sheets

More sheets would require larger range in column A of Register sheet

Sub Formula_Increment()
Dim mytext As String
Dim iCtr As Long
mytext = "=Register!A"
For iCtr = 2 To Worksheets.Count
With Worksheets(iCtr).Range("A1")
.Value = mytext & iCtr - 1
End With
Next iCtr
End Sub
